Man having Mason has taken us places we had never been before. Been a fun ride. He will be missed.

He's not a big guy but he plays big! Impressive.

Interesting to compare 2019 season to 2014, the year after the bowl win against UNLV in terms of personnel losses. Obviously we have Fine and most of the offense coming back when we lost DT at QB in 2014. But I see some parallels in terms of key defensive players being lost on both squads. Those are tough to overcome.

Other than a crappy 1st season (2013) in C-USA (4-8), here are their records: 2014: 9-5 2015: 9-4 2016: 9-5 2017: 7-6 2018: 8-5 So from a historical perspective they have been pretty consistently good and also a thorn in our side. Last year they basically ruined our undefeated season. In 2014 they beat us badly in front of a huge home crowd early in the season, a year after us winning a bowl. In 2015 they ran up the score on Chico 56-13. Seems to me under Holtz they rarely have a down year and especially seem to play well against us. They always do well in recruiting too. Perhaps you are right — but that would make this season the exception to the rule.

Interesting take: Graham Harrell made the questionable decision to jump from North Texas to Clay Helton’s sinking ship at USC in February.

I really like the idea of what an Andy Blount type of player could do in this offense. Blount was more of a big receiver that converted to tight end. Also played some H-Back. Very good player in the Dickey regime.

It will be interesting to see what Reeder’s go to play is when teams put 10 in the box on us and try to kill Fine even after his quick release.

Good bloodlines!

How on earth does this rule make sense?

Bummer!

Houston has offered Sampson a six-year, $18 million contract extension according to Tilman Fertitta, the chairman of Houston's Board of Regents. He had tw years left on his existing contract that paid him $1.6 million annually. Sampson was considered a leading candidate to replace Mike Anderson as Arkansas' coach because he worked with Razorbacks athletic director Hunter Yurchek at Houston. Yurachek was an associate athletic director when Sampson was hired as Houston, then served as athletic director for three years before coming to Arkansas. Sampson has led the Cougars to a 116-52 record the past five seasons, including a 33-4 record this season and UH's first NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearance since 1984. With Sampson's decision to stay at Houston, the next target for Arkansas could be Nevada coach Eric Musselman, who has a 110-43 record in four seasons with the Wolf Pack, including three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances highlighted by a run to the Sweet 16 in 2018. Marc Johnson, Nevada's president, said the school would work to fend off a challenge from Arkansas to hire Musselman. read more: https://www.hotsr.com/news/2019/apr/03/sampson-finalizes-deal-to-stay-at-houst/

I don’t know if money can buy you in to p5. The problem with Houston is they would immediately leap frog over numerous other p5s due to their location and money etc... so even if they would bring value to say the Big 12 there are going to be schools like Kansas State, West Virginia, Tech, OSU and Baylor that say HELL NO... even if it would be of benefit to the conference, because they know UH would immediately or I’m pretty short order pass them by.... even Texas doesn’t want Houston because they want to own The city of Houston for recruiting. I guess their best bet might be PAC 12? its very difficult to rise up to p5 from g5 if you are Houston.

Sackett unhappy with Sack?

Also let’s give the coaching staff an A+ for evaluation. We saw his ability — got his commitment and his offer list went through the roof. Don’t like it but it happens! Keep on evaluating and offering the right guys and good things will happen. Emmitt is correct, this is a position where you have some options.
